Indirect — not revenue

Balance-sheet signals

Year-on-year changes in filed balance-sheet items. They can hint at momentum (or investment) but are not revenue or profit and must not be read as such.

Net assets: ▼1%; Now £10.8m
Cash at bank: ▼22%; Now £3.2m
Headcount: ▼10%; Now 74
Deferred income: 0%; Now £60.9k
Fixed assets: ▼16%; Now £1.7m

Deferred income is reported together with accruals in this filing (“accruals and deferred income”), so it is an approximate signal only.
